effective without shareholder approval pursuant to the Act, to establish from
time to time the number of shares to be included in each series, and to

               (3) Whether shares of that series shall be convertible and the

               (7) Any other relative rights, preferences and limitations of

Preferred Stock ("SERIES 2 Preferred"), consisting of 8,000,000 shares, with the
following preferences, limitations and relative rights:

               Section 1. Definitions. For purposes of Section 2 through Section
5 of this Article II.E, the following terms shall have the respective meanings
indicated below or as set forth in the indicated section:

               Conversion Rights - Section 4.

               Corporation - Microfield Group, Inc.

               Junior Stock - Common Stock and shares of any other class or
series of capital stock ranking junior to the Series 2 Preferred, Series 3
Preferred, and Series 4 Preferred with respect to both the payment of dividends
and the distribution of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation. Series 3 Preferred and Series 4 Preferred are not Junior
Stock and shall be treated pari passu with the Series 2 Preferred.

               Issue Price - $0.42 per share.

               Section 2.       Dividends.

               (a) Junior Stock. Dividends and distributions (other than those
payable solely in Junior Stock) may be paid, or declared and set aside for
payment, upon shares of Junior Stock in any calendar year only if dividends
shall have been paid, or declared and set apart for payment, on account of all
shares of Series 2 Preferred as provided in Section 2(b) of this Article II.E.
below.

               (b) Series 2 Preferred. Series 2 Preferred shares issued and

2 - NINTH RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

<PAGE>

Series 2 Preferred dividends shall be cumulative and payable in cash on a
quarterly basis, subject to the declaration of the dividend by the board of
directors upon a determination that any such dividend is permitted under ORS
60.181. Any declared but unpaid dividend will not bear interest and will be
payable out of legally available funds. If such funds are not sufficient to pay
this dividend, either in whole or in part, then no dividend or distribution will
be paid with respect to the Junior Stock (other than a dividend payable in
Junior Stock) until full cumulative dividends on the Series 2 Preferred, Series
3 Preferred and Series 4 Preferred for all past quarters have been declared and
paid or the Corporation has set aside a sum sufficient to pay such dividends.

                Section 3. Liquidation Preference

               (a) Subject to Section H, of this Article II, in the event of any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or
involuntary, the holders of each share of Series 2 Preferred shall be entitled
to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to
its shareholders, before any declaration and payment or setting apart for
payment of any amount shall be made in respect of Junior Stock, an amount equal
to the Issue Price and all accrued but unpaid dividends.

               (b) After the payment or distributions described in Section 3(a)
above have been made, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for
distribution to its shareholders shall be distributed among the holders of
Junior Stock.

               Section 4. Conversion. The holders of the Series 2 Preferred
shall have the following conversion rights (the "Conversion Rights"):

               (a) Right to Convert

                    (i) Each holder of shares of Series 2 Preferred may, at the
holder's option, convert all or any part of such share(s) from time to time into
shares of Common Stock at any time after the date of issuance. Each such share
of Series 2 Preferred shall be converted into one share of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock.

                    (ii) Upon conversion of the Series 2 Preferred, the Common
Stock so issued shall be duly and validly issued fully paid and nonassessable
shares of the Corporation.

                    (iii) Each Share of Series 2 Preferred shall automatically
be converted into Shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis on the third
anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series 2 Preferred.

                    (iv) Upon the occurrence of the event specified in clause
(iii) of this Section 4(a), the outstanding shares of the Series 2 Preferred to
be converted shall be converted automatically without any further action by the
holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such
shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided,
however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates
evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless
certificates evidencing such



3 - NINTH RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

<PAGE>

shares of the Series 2 Preferred being converted are either delivered to the
Corporation or any transfer agent, as hereinafter provided, or the holder
notifies the Corporation or any transfer agent, as hereinafter provided, that
such certificates have been lost, stolen, or destroyed and executes an agreement
satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss
incurred by it in connection therewith. Upon the automatic conversion of the
Series 2 Preferred, the holders of such Series 2 Preferred shall surrender the
certificates representing such shares at the office of the Corporation or of any
transfer agent for the Common Stock. Thereupon, there shall be issued and
delivered to such holder, promptly at such office and in the holder's name as
shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or
certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of
the Series 2 Preferred surrendered were convertible on the date on which such
automatic conversion occurred.

               (b) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Series 2
Preferred shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, the
holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed,
at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Series 2
Preferred, and shall give written notice by mail, postage prepaid, to the
Corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the
same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. The Corporation shall,
as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such
holder of Series 2 Preferred, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a
certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which
such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to
have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such
surrender of the shares of Series 2 Preferred to be converted, and the person or
persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of
such shares of Common Stock as of such date. If the conversion is in connection
with an underwritten offer of securities registered pursuant to the Securities
Act of 1933, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Series 2
Preferred for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriter
of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the
person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of
the Series 2 Preferred shall not be deemed to have converted such Series 2
Preferred until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.

               (c) Other Distributions. In the event the Corporation shall
declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of
indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other persons or assets (excluding
cash dividends), then, in each such case for the purpose of this Section 4(c),
the holders of the Series 2 Preferred shall be entitled to a proportionate share
of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares
of Common Stock of the Corporation into which their shares of Series 2 Preferred
are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders
of Junior Stock of the Corporation entitled to receive such distribution.

               (d) Recapitalizations. If at any time or from time to time there
shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision,
combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in
this Section 4) provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series 2
Preferred shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the


4 - NINTH RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
<PAGE>

Series 2 Preferred the number of shares of stock or other securities or property
of the Company or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon
conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of
this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series 2
Preferred after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this
Section 4 shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable.

               (e) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its
Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the
Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of
all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may
be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the
holders of the Series 2 Preferred against impairment.

               (f) No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments. No
fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Series 2 Preferred and
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to the
nearest whole share. Whether fractional shares would otherwise be issuable upon
conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of
Series 2 Preferred the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

               (g) Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the
Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the
purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any
dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or
any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Corporation
shall mail to each holder of Series 2 Preferred, at least 20 days prior to the
date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is
to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the
amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

               (h) Reservation of Stock Issuable upon Conversion. The
Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of the shares of Series 2 Preferred, such number of its shares of
Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion
of all outstanding shares of Series 2 Preferred; and if at any time the number
of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to
effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series 2 Preferred,
in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such
Series 2 Preferred, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in
the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such
purposes.

               (i) Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this
Section 4 to be given to the holder of shares of Series 2 Preferred shall be
deemed given when personally delivered to such holder or two business days after
the same has been deposited in the United States mail,


5 - NINTH RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
<PAGE>

certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and
addressed to each holder of record at the holder's address appearing on the
books of the Corporation.

               Section 5. Voting Rights. Each holder of Series 2 Preferred shall
have the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such Series
2 Preferred could then be converted (with any fractional share determined on an
aggregate conversion basis being rounded to the nearest whole share), and with
respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal
to the voting rights and powers of a holder of Common Stock, and shall be
entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any shareholders'
meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the Corporation, and shall be entitled
to vote, together with holders of Common Stock, with respect to any question
upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote.

               Section 6. Amendment. Upon the automatic conversion of every
outstanding share of Series 2 Preferred into Shares of Common Stock pursuant to
Section 4(a)(iii) of this Article II.E, these Ninth Restated Articles of
Incorporation shall automatically be amended to delete Article II.E hereof in
its entirety and Article II.E shall have no further force and effect. Upon such
automatic amendment, the officers of the Company are authorized and directed to
do such acts and things as may be necessary or appropriate to effect said
amendment, including filing restated articles that include such amendment and
making any other required filings with any authorities of the state of Oregon.

     F. There shall be a series of Preferred Stock designated as Series 3
Preferred Stock ("SERIES 3 Preferred"), consisting of 10,000 shares, with the
following preferences, limitations and relative rights:

               Section 1. Definitions. For purposes of Section 2 through Section
5 of this Article II.F, the following terms shall have the respective meanings
indicated below or as set forth in the indicated section:

               Conversion Rights - Section 4.

               Corporation - Microfield Group, Inc.

               Junior Stock - Common Stock and shares of any other class or
series of capital stock ranking junior to the Series 2 Preferred, Series 3
Preferred, and Series 4 Preferred with respect to both the payment of dividends
and the distribution of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation. Series 2 Preferred and Series 4 Preferred are not Junior
Stock and shall be treated pari passu with the Series 3 Preferred.

               Issue Price - $420.00 per share.

               Section 2.  Dividends.

               (a) Junior Stock. Dividends and distributions (other than those
payable solely in Junior Stock) may be paid, or declared and set aside for
payment, upon shares of Junior Stock in


6 - NINTH RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

any calendar year only if dividends shall have been paid, or declared and set
apart for payment, on account of all shares of Series 3 Preferred as provided in
Section 2(b) of this Article II.F. below.

               (b) Series 3 Preferred. Series 3 Preferred shares issued and
outstanding shall be entitled to receive a cash dividend in the amount of 6.5%
of the Issue Price per annum. The Series 3 Preferred dividends shall be
cumulative and payable in cash on a quarterly basis, subject to the declaration
of the dividend by the board of directors upon a determination that any such
dividend is permitted under ORS 60.181. Any declared but unpaid dividend will
not bear interest and will be payable out of legally available funds. If such
funds are not sufficient to pay this dividend, either in whole or in part, then
no dividend or distribution will be paid with respect to the Junior Stock (other
than a dividend payable in Junior Stock) until full cumulative dividends on the
Series 2 Preferred, Series 3 Preferred, and Series 4 Preferred for all past
quarters have been declared and paid or the Corporation has set aside a sum
sufficient to pay such dividends.

               Section 3. Liquidation Preference

               (a) Subject to Section H, of this Article II, in the event of any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or
involuntary, the holders of each share of Series 3 Preferred shall be entitled
to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to
its shareholders, before any declaration and payment or setting apart for
payment of any amount shall be made in respect of Junior Stock, an amount equal
to the Issue Price and all accrued but unpaid dividends.

               (b) After the payment or distributions described in Section 3(a)
above have been made, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for
distribution to its shareholders shall be distributed among the holders of
Junior Stock.

               Section 4. Conversion. The holders of the Series 3 Preferred
shall have the following conversion rights (the "Conversion Rights"):

               (a) Right to Convert

                    (i) Each holder of shares of Series 3 Preferred may, at the
holder's option after March 31, 2005, convert all or any part of such share(s)

thousand shares of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock.

                    (ii) Upon conversion of the Series 3 Preferred, the Common
Stock so issued shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
shares of the Corporation.

                    (iii) Each Share of Series 3 Preferred shall automatically
be converted into Shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one thousand basis on the

7 - NINTH RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION


<PAGE>
                    (iv) Upon the occurrence of the event specified in clause
(iii) of this Section 4(a), the outstanding shares of the Series 3 Preferred to
be converted shall be converted automatically without any further action by the
holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such
shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided,
however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates
evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless
certificates evidencing such shares of the Series 3 Preferred being converted
are either delivered to the Corporation or any transfer agent, as hereinafter
provided, or the holder notifies the Corporation or any transfer agent, as
hereinafter provided, that such certificates have been lost, stolen, or
destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify
the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. Upon the
automatic conversion of the Series 3 Preferred, the holders of such Series 3
Preferred shall surrender the certificates representing such shares at the
office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Common Stock.
Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder, promptly at such
office and in the holder's name as shown on such surrendered certificate or
certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common
Stock into which the shares of the Series 3 Preferred surrendered were
convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred.

               (b) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Series 3
Preferred shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, the
holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed,
at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Series 3
Preferred, and shall give written notice by mail, postage prepaid, to the
Corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the
same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. The Corporation shall,
as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such
holder of Series 3 Preferred, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a
certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which
such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to
have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such
surrender of the shares of Series 3 Preferred to be converted, and the person or
persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of
such shares of Common Stock as of such date. If the conversion is in connection
with an underwritten offer of securities registered pursuant to the Securities
Act of 1933, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Series 3
Preferred for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriter
of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the
person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of
the Series 3 Preferred shall not be deemed to have converted such Series 3
Preferred until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.

               (c) Other Distributions. In the event the Corporation shall
declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of
indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other persons or assets (excluding
cash dividends), then, in each such case for the purpose of this Section 4(c),
the holders of the Series 3 Preferred shall be entitled to a proportionate share
of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares
of Common Stock of the Corporation into which their shares of Series 3 Preferred
are convertible as of the record date


8 - NINTH RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

<PAGE>

fixed for the determination of the holders of Junior Stock of the Corporation
entitled to receive such distribution.

               (d) Recapitalizations. If at any time or from time to time there
shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision,
combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in
this Section 4) provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series 3
Preferred shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series
3 Preferred the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the
Company or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon
conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of
this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series 3
Preferred after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this
Section 4 shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable.

               (e) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its
Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the
Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of
all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may
be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the
holders of the Series 3 Preferred against impairment.

               (f) No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments. No
fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Series 3 Preferred and
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to the
nearest whole share. Whether fractional shares would otherwise be issuable upon
conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of
Series 3 Preferred the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

               (g) Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the
Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the
purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any
dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or
any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Corporation
shall mail to each holder of Series 3 Preferred, at least 20 days prior to the
date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is
to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the
amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

               (h) Reservation of Stock Issuable upon Conversion. The
Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of the shares of Series 3 Preferred, such number of its shares of
Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion
of all outstanding shares of Series 3 Preferred; and if at any time the number
of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to
effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series 3 Preferred,
in addition to such other remedies as shall

9 - NINTH RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

<PAGE>

be available to the holder of such Series 3 Preferred, the Corporation will take
such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to
increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of
shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

               (i) Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this
Section 4 to be given to the holder of shares of Series 3 Preferred shall be
deemed given when personally delivered to such holder or two business days after
the same has been deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of
record at the holder's address appearing on the books of the Corporation.

               Section 5. Voting Rights. Each holder of Series 3 Preferred shall
have the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such Series
3 Preferred could then be converted (with any fractional share determined on an
aggregate conversion basis being rounded to the nearest whole share), and with
respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal
to the voting rights and powers of a holder of Common Stock, and shall be
entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any shareholders'
meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the Corporation, and shall be entitled
to vote, together with holders of Common Stock, with respect to any question
upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote.

               Section 6. Amendment. Upon the automatic conversion of every
outstanding share of Series 3 Preferred into Shares of Common Stock pursuant to
Section 4(a)(iii) of Article II.F, these Ninth Restated Articles of
Incorporation shall automatically be amended to delete Article II.F hereof in
its entirety and Article II.F shall have no further force and effect. Upon such
automatic amendment, the officers of the Company are authorized and directed to
do such acts and things as may be necessary or appropriate to effect said
amendment, including filing restated articles that include such amendment and
making any other required filings with any authorities of the state of Oregon.

               Conversion Rights - Section 4.

               Issue Price - $380.00 per share.

               Section 2.       Dividends.

               (a) Junior Stock. Dividends and distributions (other than those
payable solely in Junior Stock) may be paid, or declared and set aside for
payment, upon shares of Junior Stock in any calendar year only if dividends
shall have been paid, or declared and set apart for payment, on account of all
shares of Series 4 Preferred as provided in Section 2(b) of this Article II.G
below.

               (b) Series 4 Preferred. Series 4 Preferred shares issued and
outstanding shall be entitled to receive a cash dividend in the amount of 6.5%
of the Issue Price per annum. The Series 4 Preferred dividends shall be
cumulative and payable in cash on a quarterly basis, subject to the declaration
of the dividend by the board of directors upon a determination that any such
dividend is permitted under ORS 60.181. Any declared but unpaid dividend will
not bear interest and will be payable out of legally available funds. If such
funds are not sufficient to pay this dividend, either in whole or in part, then
no dividend or distribution will be paid with respect to the Junior Stock (other
than a dividend payable in Junior Stock) until full cumulative dividends on the
Series 2 Preferred, Series 3 Preferred and Series 4 Preferred for all past
quarters have been declared and paid or the Corporation has set aside a sum
sufficient to pay such dividends.

               Section 3. Liquidation Preference

               (a) Subject to Section H, of this Article II, in the event of any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or
involuntary, the holders of each share of Series 4 Preferred shall be entitled
to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to
its shareholders, before any declaration and payment or setting apart for
payment of any amount shall be made in respect of Junior Stock, an amount equal
to the Issue Price and all accrued but unpaid dividends.

               (b) After the payment or distributions described in Section 3(a)
above have been made, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for
distribution to its shareholders shall be distributed among the holders of
Junior Stock.

               Section 4. Conversion. The holders of the Series 4 Preferred
shall have the following conversion rights (the "Conversion Rights"):

               (a) Right to Convert

                    (i) Each holder of shares of Series 4 Preferred may, at the
holder's option after March 31, 2005, convert all or any part of such share(s)
from time to time into shares of Common Stock at any time after the date of
issuance. Each such share of Series 4 Preferred shall be converted into one
thousand shares of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock.


11 - NINTH RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
<PAGE>

               (ii) Upon conversion of the Series 4 Preferred, the Common Stock
so issued shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares
of the Corporation.

               (iii) Each Share of Series 4 Preferred shall automatically be
converted into Shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one thousand basis on the
third anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series 4 Preferred.

               (iv) Upon the occurrence of the event specified in clause (iii)
of this Section 4(a), the outstanding shares of the Series 4 Preferred to be
converted shall be converted automatically without any further action by the
holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such
shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided,
however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates
evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless
certificates evidencing such shares of the Series 4 Preferred being converted
are either delivered to the Corporation or any transfer agent, as hereinafter
provided, or the holder notifies the Corporation or any transfer agent, as
hereinafter provided, that such certificates have been lost, stolen, or
destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify
the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. Upon the
automatic conversion of the Series 4 Preferred, the holders of such Series 4
Preferred shall surrender the certificates representing such shares at the
office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Common Stock.
Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder, promptly at such
office and in the holder's name as shown on such surrendered certificate or
certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common
Stock into which the shares of the Series 4 Preferred surrendered were
convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred.

          (b) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Series 4 Preferred
shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, the holder
shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the
office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Series 4 Preferred,
and shall give written notice by mail, postage prepaid, to the Corporation at
its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall
state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for
shares of Common Stock are to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as
practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of
Series 4 Preferred, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate
or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder
shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been
made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of
the shares of Series 4 Preferred to be converted, and the person or persons
entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares
of Common Stock as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with an
underwritten offer of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of
1933, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Series 4
Preferred for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriter
of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the
person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of
the Series 4 Preferred shall not be deemed to have converted such Series 4
Preferred until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.


12 - NINTH RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
<PAGE>
          (c) Other Distributions. In the event the Corporation shall declare a
distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness
issued by the Corporation or other persons or assets (excluding cash dividends),
then, in each such case for the purpose of this Section 4(c), the holders of the
Series 4 Preferred shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such
distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common
Stock of the Corporation into which their shares of Series 4 Preferred are
convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of
Junior Stock of the Corporation entitled to receive such distribution.

          (d) Recapitalizations. If at any time or from time to time there shall
be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination
or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section
4) provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series 4 Preferred shall
thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series 4 Preferred the
number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company or
otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would
have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate
adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4
with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series 4 Preferred after the
recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 shall be
applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

          (e) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its
Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the
Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of
all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may
be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the
holders of the Series 4 Preferred against impairment.

          (f) No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments. No
fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Series 4 Preferred and
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to the
nearest whole share. Whether fractional shares would otherwise be issuable upon
conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of
Series 4 Preferred the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

          (g) Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the
Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the
purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any
dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or
any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Corporation
shall mail to each holder of Series 4 Preferred, at least 20 days prior to the
date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is
to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the
amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.


13 - NINTH RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
<PAGE>
          (h) Reservation of Stock Issuable upon Conversion. The Corporation
shall at all times, following the date the Series 4 Preferred are eligible to be
converted to Common Stock, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of the shares of Series 4 Preferred, such number of its shares of
Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion
of all outstanding shares of Series 4 Preferred; and if at any time the number
of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to
effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series 4 Preferred,
in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such
Series 4 Preferred, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in
the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such
purposes.

          (i) Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 4
to be given to the holder of shares of Series 4 Preferred shall be deemed given
when personally delivered to such holder or two business days after the same has
been deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at
the holder's address appearing on the books of the Corporation.

          Section 5. Voting Rights. Each holder of Series 4 Preferred shall have
the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such Series 4
Preferred could then be converted (with any fractional share determined on an
aggregate conversion basis being rounded to the nearest whole share), and with
respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal
to the voting rights and powers of a holder of Common Stock, and shall be
entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any shareholders'
meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the Corporation, and shall be entitled
to vote, together with holders of Common Stock, with respect to any question
upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote.

          Section 6. Amendment. Upon the automatic conversion of every
outstanding share of Series 4 Preferred into Shares of Common Stock pursuant to
Section 4(a)(iii) of Article II.G, these Ninth Restated Articles of
Incorporation shall automatically be amended to delete Article II.G hereof in
its entirety and Article II.G shall have no further force and effect. Upon such
automatic amendment, the officers of the Company are authorized and directed to
do such acts and things as may be necessary or appropriate to effect said
amendment, including filing restated articles that include such amendment and
making any other required filings with any authorities of the state of Oregon.

     H. Liquidation Preferences Series 2 Preferred, Series 3 Preferred and
Series 4 Preferred. The holder of each share of Series 2 Preferred, the holder
of each share of Series 3 Preferred and the holder of each share of Series 4
Preferred shall be entitled pari passu to be paid out of the assets of the
Company an amount per share equal to the Original Series 2 Issue Price, the
Original Series 3 Issue Price or the Original Series 4 Issue Price, as
applicable, plus all declared and unpaid dividends (as adjusted for any stock
dividends, combinations, splits or recapitalizations) for each share. If, upon
any such liquidation, distribution, or winding up, the assets of the Company
shall be insufficient to make payment in full to all holders of Series 2
Preferred, Series 3 Preferred and Series 4 Preferred of the liquidation
preferences set forth in this


14 - NINTH RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION


<PAGE>


Section H, then such assets shall be distributed among the holders of Series 2
Preferred, Series 3 Preferred and Series 4 Preferred at the time outstanding,
ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be
respectively entitled.

                                  ARTICLE III

        No director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the
Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director;
provided that this Article III shall not eliminate the liability of a director
for any act or omission for which such elimination of liability is not permitted
under the Act. No amendment to the Act that further limits the acts or omissions
for which elimination of liability is permitted shall affect the liability of a
director for any act or omission which occurs prior to the effective date of
such amendment.

                                   ARTICLE IV

        The Corporation elects to waive preemptive rights.

                                   ARTICLE V

        In determining whether the Corporation has sufficient assets to
repurchase shares of Common Stock from its employees or consultants to the
extent permitted by any applicable stock restriction or vesting agreements such
determination shall be made and any distribution to such shareholders may be
made regardless of whether the Corporation's net assets, after giving effect to
the distribution, would be sufficient, if the Corporation were to be dissolved
as of the date of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights of the
holders of Preferred Stock.

                                   ARTICLE VI

        The Corporation shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law
any director or officer of the Corporation who is made, or threatened to be
made, a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, investigative or otherwise (including an action, suit or
proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that the
person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or a
fiduciary within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 with respect to any employee benefit plans of the Corporation or serves or
served at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent or as a fiduciary of an employee benefit plan, of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The Corporation shall pay
for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by any such director or
officer in any such proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the
proceeding if the director or officer sets forth in writing (i) his or her good
faith belief that he or she is entitled to indemnification under this Article VI
and (ii) his or her agreement to repay all advances if it is ultimately
determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification under this Article
VI. No amendment to this Article VI that limits the Corporation's obligation to
indemnify any person shall have any effect on such obligation for any act or
omission that occurs prior to the later of the effective date of the amendment
or the date notice of the amendment is given to the director or officer. This
Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other provisions for
indemnification of directors, officers,

employees, agents and fiduciaries that may be included in any statute, bylaw,
agreement, general or specific action of the Board of Directors, vote of
shareholders or other document or arrangement.
